Is there a log4j appender connected to TestNG?

public class TestNGReportAppender extends AppenderSkeleton {

 @Override
 protected void append (final LoggingEvent event) {
 Reporter.log(eventToString(event));
 }

 private String eventToString(final LoggingEvent event) {
 final StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(layout.format(event));

 if(layout.ignoresThrowable()) {
 final String[] s = event.getThrowableStrRep();
 if ( s != null) {
 for (final String value: s) {
 result.append(value).append(Layout.LINE_SEP);
 }
 }
 }
 return result.toString();
 }

 @Override
 public void close() {

 }

 @Override
 public boolean requiresLayout() {
 return true;
 }
}

log4j.appender.testNG=some.package.TestNGReportAppender
log4j.appender.testNG.layout=org.apache.log4j. EnhancedPatternLayout
log4j.appender.testNG.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L-%m%

Me Use log4j and hope that the log messages that usually end in my logging tool appear in the test report created by TestNG during my unit test.

I think this means a log4j Appender output To the TestNG Listener and an appropriate log4j configuration in the src/test/resources directory of my Maven project. Is that correct?

It seems quite easy to write, but is there anything I can import through Maven?

I had the same problem and eventually wrote an appender myself. It is actually very simple:

Copy the following class :

public class TestNGReportAppender extends AppenderSkeleton {

 @Override
 protected void append(final LoggingEvent event) {
 Reporter. log(eventToString(event));
 }

 private String eventToString(final LoggingEvent event) {
 final StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(layout.format(event));< br />
 if(layout.ignoresThrowable()) {
 final String[] s = event.getThrowableStrRep();
 if (s != null) {
 for ( final String value: s) {
 result.append(value).append(Layout.LINE_SEP);
 }
 }
 }
 return result.toString() ;
 }

 @Override
 public void close() {

 }

 @Override
 public boolean requiresLayout() {
 return true;
 }
}

and configure it as a console appender. For example. Like this:

log4j.appender.testNG=som e.package.TestNGReportAppender
log4j.appender.testNG.layout=org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout
log4j.appender.testNG.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1} :%L-%m%
